Over Fourth of July weekend, Matt surprised me with a trip to Quebec City as a slightly belated 30th birthday present. And by “surprise” I mean he told me two days in advance. That’s about as surprising as you can get when traveling with a 13-month-old. Quebec City is the type of place we love to [...] Last weekend we went to the Outer Banks. We stay a few miles from the Virginia border in an area that is only accessible by driving on the beach. We almost always see wild horses during our say, but last weekend we had the best wildlife-sighting trip on family record. It was mostly due to [...] Eva’s hair, courtesy of the wind in the Outer Banks. A week and a half ago, Eva and I bid farewell to the five foot pile of snow in our front yard and headed West for a balmy vacation in Seattle. Matt flew out and met us a few days later. The Pacific Northwest is having the warmest winter on record, which sounded more appealing than [...] We flew to Seattle on Thanksgiving morning – it was wonderful to have a relatively quiet airport experience and fly on a half full plane. If you look at our pictures, it looks like all we did that weekend was bathe and feed a baby… well, maybe that’s kind of accurate. There were so many [...] November was a great month. I could write ten entries about November and still have more to say. But now it’s snowing and I’m excited about Christmas, so I’ll write just one. We started out with a trip to Northern California at the end of October to visit my mom’s side of the family. While we [...] I love generation photos – and by some miracle we’re all smiling in this one. You don’t know how unusual that is for this particular group. I’m not sure when I’ll get through the other 413 (!) pictures from our trip to Northern California, as it’s NaNoWriMo time now, but I’ll post a few on the [...] A few weeks ago Matt, Eva, and I flew up to Albany for an event at RPI, Matt’s alma mater. Yes, we have returned to our former life as traveling fools. The flight up was a success, as you can see below. Matt’s grandparents live in the Albany area, and we were able to stay with [...] I’ve been friends with Marissa since fourth grade – that’s twenty years as of right now. I can’t think very hard about that. We got pregnant around the same time – she was three months ahead of me – but since we’re both new moms, we haven’t been able to fly for months, and just [...] Sunday was a great day. Matt spent most of the day reading his school book, but how hard is that when studying looks like this? We spent time with Grandma and Grandpa (my parents) and Uncle Austin. Eva can only hope she inherited these eyes: Eva had a great time meeting her cousins. By my count, she [...] |
